that the use of part of sermon delivered
by DIR. TALMAGE, of Brooklyn, in volume

be not wrong. There is only one way to
escape poverty, that is by work, thrift
and self-denial."

lowing: at is to be said for the Unitari-
ans that they have taken sympathetic
attitude toward most of the great reforms
OF the time. And to them as much as to
any other church women are indebted for
